seriously no one can tell you "how loud" a subwoofer can get over the internet.

There's no way to tell you how loud you'll be. But I bet there's plenty of people on this forum who can design an amp/sub/box combo that can get you louder than 3 w7's for a whole lot cheaper.

W7s are not designed to be loud, they are designed for SQ.

If loudness is you goal, there are many better choices in subs.

3 13w7's from wat i heard and seen will get u louder than the average joe ...but for the money will be paying...in the same space the 3 13w7's will take up..u can get much louder and still hit the lows good with less money

3 12" subs that can get louder.

DD 9500, 9900

FI BL, BTL,

RE SE, MT

T3 TSS

Cactus

Sundown Nightshade

TC Sounds

and more that I cant think of right now.

The W7 is a good sub that sounds good and can play louder than average subs.

But that is not it's main purpose and other subs that are more designed for SPL do a better job at getting loud.

I understand what all of you are saying. I'm not ignorant to the Audio world I know of tons of brands that can beat W7's in SPL, but I meant to ask was are W7's loud at all? I know they sound good, but I'm asking if they are loud,. Unless there are suggestions that can get loud and sound good aswell

They can get pretty loud.

I have used 12W7s before and from my experience I would estimate mid 140s in my setup where as my T3s do low 150s. and the T3s sound great while doing it.

The W7s can take a beating though and they can get louder than type Rs. And sound better too.

 

[sbc2008 10+ year member]

lol now I'm canceling the use of W7's since they have now been compared with Type Rs.... I may go FI Audio or DD Audio(Not as good sounding as some but good brand and gets LOUD!)

RE SE's!!! TEAM H&K is the hookup! and i bet you will only spend 1/2 on the RE's if the JL's are used and you buy RE se brand new!

I have 3 type r's i used for 2 years (for sale) and i wouldnt spend the money to trade those in for the jl's ever. Jl is a monopoly, many say that about alpine but at least alpine is cheap.
